The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has released school district and campus grades for the 2018-2019 school year.
“A” is a score between 90 and 100, “B” between 80 and 89, “C” between 70 and 79, “D” is between 60 and 69, and “F” is under 60.
This is the first year A-F ratings are available for individual schools.
TEA’s overall ratings are based on performance in three areas:
• Student Achievement shows how much students know and are able to do at the end of the school year.
• School Progress shows how students perform over time and how that growth compares to similar schools.
• Closing the Gaps shows how well different groups of students within a school are performing.
TEA’s A-F accountability takes into account graduation rates, college, career and military readiness, SAT/ACT scores, and college prep course completion.
TEA states the majority of a district’s rating is based on indicators other than the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR) test.
